Fodor's Expert Review Amara Spa

Amara Spa, surrounding a palm-shaded pool, offers eight luxury pavilion spa suites with living area and terrace, hammam, and aromatic steam shower for residential stays, along with simple treatment rooms. The style is Arabic-Andalusian with vivid blue ceramic-tiled interiors and domes contrasting with whitewashed walls in the public areas, and soothing earth tones in the treatment rooms. Treatments concentrate on massage—with a choice of 10 options—facials, including nonsurgical face-lifts and body treatments. Excellent value for nonresidents are some of their packages, which include half-day pool, sauna, and steam bath access and a gourmet lunch (from 570 dirhams). The spa uses Natura Bissé and Anne Semonin products.
